The City Stars received some devestating news this week with the resignation of GM Mark Geissbauer. Geissbauer was always visible at home matches as he greeted fans that soon became friends. He helped create a welcoming environment for all that share a passion for soccer. Geissbauer was recognized several times for his work in the front office, but was also active in community service in the Cleveland area and in Mozambique as well. The city doesn’t shine as much when we lose someone of such stature. Someone will have some big shoes to fill when they take over for “Ohio’s soccer ambassador”.
An interview with Mark will be featured in Part III of our original series entitled “Past, Present, and Future: The Journey of American Soccer”.
Great article. There’s a lot of good info here, though I did want to let you know something – I am running Fedora with the circulating beta of Firefox, and the design of your blog is kind of flaky for me. I can understand the articles, but the navigation doesn’t function so good.
